Sat, 20 March 2010 - Scooter/Motorcycle Training at Ellerslie Racecourse, beginning at 9.00am

Phil McDaid (www.riderskills.co.nz) is starting scooter/motorcycle rider training sessions at Ellerslie Racecourse this coming weekend, Saturday 20th March, 2010 from 9.00am. He and a couple of other instructors will start rider training session at 9.00am and will then give another 2 sessions throughout the day, depending on how many people contact him for training. See his contact details below and find out the best time that suits you to do this training.

Phil has 60 X $50.00 discount vouchers for the first people to present to him for training - the total cost is $150 for a 2 hour training session so with this discount the cost is $100 - good value for learning important safe riding skills. Roughly the first third of the time is spent on knowing your own scoot/bike and how to maintian and do safety checks on it, the second third of training is around handling skills in a defined area and then the third and final part of the training is going out on to the road where you will be observed by an instructor and feedback will be given on your riding.

This is a valuable course to do even if you have been riding for years but have never had anyone comment on your riding before. Phil McDaid is one of the best riding instructors in the country - he is from UK and takes his safety training as applied and used by the highest rider training school of the UK, which is the British Police Motorcycle Division. I have personal experience of Phil's riding instruction as I did a one day Advanced Riders course with him and it was the best rider training that I have done and it was immensely valuable in helping me to understand how to read the road, how to ride to the conditions of the road and how to use vanishing points to your advantage and so on.

Anyone who is interested, and I hope that most of you are, please phone Phil on 021 7107 92 asap or email him info@RiderSkills.co.nz with your details & Phil will get back to you.
